Early in 2013, T-Zero Racing was selected to undertake a complete frame-off rally preparation on this very unique 1938 Chevrolet Fangio Coupe. The car came to us with a wonderful amount of history and character acquired from other events it had run in Argentina, but from a mechanical standpoint it had not received much attention in many years and was literally held together with baling wire and hose clamps in many places.

With goals of reliability, safety, and driving enjoyment kept firmly in mind, our team turned out an incredible final product that blends period correct components with unique touches at the request of the driver and navigator. From frame restoration and strengthening, to custom suspension designed for the abuses of rallying, to safety additions such as a 4 point roll bar and 32 gallon fuel cell, to all new wiring, and even a new sand bent exhaust, this Fangio Coupe underwent a very comprehensive build. While many of the major components were readily available for purchase, many others were designed and built in-house by T-Zero Racing.

Soon after completion, T-Zero had this incredible Fangio Coupe shipped to Argentina where it will be competing in the grueling 22 day, 6,000 km Vintage Cape Horn rally. You can follow the car and crew exploits (and there will be many) at fangdango40.blogspot.com.
